Check content

The setting is found in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Location Services. If the box that says "Enable Location Services" is checked, this is a finding. To check if a configuration profile is configured to enforce this setting, run the following command: sudo system_profiler SPConfigurationProfileDataType | grep DisableLocationServices | awk '{ print $3 }' | sed 's/;//' If the result is not "1" this is a finding.

Fix text

The setting is found in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Location Services. Uncheck the box that says "Enable Location Services". This setting can be enforced using a configuration profile.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
